Description

Dropbox is a creative collaboration space designed to reduce busywork, bring your files together in one central place, and safely sync them across all your devices—so you can access them anytime, anywhere. And sending large files is easy, even to people who don’t have a Dropbox account. Features like the doc scanner, shared folders, offline access, and more make collaborating with others simple.

Features: • Work on files with others through shared folders • Use the doc scanner to turn receipts, whiteboards, and notes into PDFs • Comment on files to share feedback with your team • Sync, share, and edit Word, Excel, and PowerPoint files

We offer a free 30-day trial and in-app purchases for Dropbox Plus. Existing Dropbox Plus customers can also upgrade to Dropbox Professional. Both plans include 1 TB of storage and so much more. The amount will be charged to your iTunes account and will vary by plan and country. You’ll see the total price before completing payment.

Dropbox subscriptions purchased in-app renew monthly or yearly depending on your plan. Plan pricing may vary by country. To avoid renewal, you must turn off auto-renew at least 24 hours before your subscription ends. You can turn off auto-renew at any time from your iTunes account settings. Dropbox also offers one-month trials for monthly subscriptions.

Editors’ Notes

We’d be lost without Dropbox—it’s an indispensable part of our digital toolbox. But for all its usefulness, the thing we appreciate most about this cloud-storage app is how little we have to think about it. Whether we’re sharing documents between devices, uploading photos directly from our camera, or emailing large files to friends, it all just works—seamlessly and effortlessly.

A few weeks ago my office switched our mobile cloud storage option to Dropbox, blocking access to iCloud and other services. I’ve been stuck using it ever since, and I have been thoroughly unimpressed. I enjoy chances to try new tech and new services, and was prepared to be blown away, but Dropbox seems more interested in “building a brand” and slapping pretty colors on things than it is in building a solid product for iOS. Dropbox took a week to release the iOS 11-“optimized” version of its app, while other services had their apps live *before* iOS 11 even went live. 11 has been out for how long now, yet we’re still waiting for drag-and-drop support for moving files around in-app. Now, weeks later, I just downloaded the “splashy” new update hoping this functionality would be there, but it appears to consist solely of bug fixes and a revised app icon. The updated app visuals that are supposed to make my mundane daily file interactions “extraordinary” are so subtle that I don’t notice them. Here’s what would be extraordinary: update the app to take advantage of all of iOS 11’s new productivity capabilities. That would be a far more profound app update—and rebranding—than what Dropbox appears committed to doing.

MS Outlook Integration Problems

Mar 6, 2018

The Reviewer

I use my iPad Pro constantly for workflow production with Dropbox and MS Outlook. I also have some other file storage accounts linked to my MS Outlook but I would prefer not to... But I have to because the Outlook app will not allow me to insert a file from within the app from a Dropbox location. This. Is. Crippling. I cannot overstate how much of a problem this is for me, daily. I often need to reply to emails and insert modified documents but utilizing Dropbox as my storage venue for those documents prevents me from doing so. I have to export the file FROM Dropbox and place it on a different service (such as google storage or other) and then insert it from there. I’ve paid for storage on Dropbox for a couple years now and I think this will have to be the last year if this issue does not get worked out. I realize Dropbox may not in control of how Outlook handles attachments from the Dropbox service but regardless I may not be able to continue with Dropbox if the issue isn’t resolved. Starting a new email from within Dropbox to simply send a file doesn’t work for me and frankly, I feel I shouldn’t have to come up with another workaround to make the system work the way it should already.
